On the spicy Asian theme, my favourite is a hot, sweet and sour dressing - I
use lime juice, fresh chili/sambal olek, light soy sauce, sesame oil and
plum sauce/sugar but you can play around with the ingredients. It's great to
dress any dark green veg like broccoli or spinach. In the same vein, Madhur
Jaffrey has a nice kohl rabi salad recipe with lemon juice, sugar and
cayenne pepper. Julienne the veg, mix with dressing and top with chopped
peanuts, fresh coridander and fried onions.

Other things that spring to mind are fresh herbs and any sort of pesto.
Basil pesto is good on green beans or peas.
